Abstract: Since its inception in 1993, the National Guard Youth Challenge Program has produced over 200,000 graduates across dozens of sites located in the states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Currently, the program operates 39 sites. House Report 117-88, accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Bill for Fiscal Year 2022, included a provision for the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review the National Guard Youth Challenge Program, including its implementation and oversight. This report describes (1) how selected sites implemented core program components, and examines the extent to which the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the National Guard Bureau (NGB) have (2) conducted oversight of the Challenge Program and (3) assessed its performance, among other objectives. GAO reviewed program policies, inspections, and audits; surveyed program officials at a nongeneralizable sample of 13 sites; and interviewed OSD, NGB, and site officials.
